Small Business Cashbook Tips

Smarter Decisions Start with the Smart Menu in eCashBooks

Most low-end accounting tools stop at bookkeeping. eCashBooks goes further with Smart Menu features like KPIs, Labour Costing, Pricing, and Productivity — powerful tools designed to help small businesses make confident, informed decisions.

Running a business means making decisions every day — and the faster you get reliable data, the faster you can move. That’s where most small business accounting tools fail. They stop at the basics: income, expenses, and tax. But eCashBooks takes you further.

Welcome to the Smart Menu — a set of advanced business management tools that help you steer your ship with confidence.

KPI Tracker — Know What Matters Most

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) show whether your business is on track. eCashBooks lets you:

• Define your own KPIs (sales targets, expenses, margins)

• Track trends over time with simple visuals

• Identify what's working — and what needs attention

• Spot red flags early and respond fast

This isn’t just accounting — it’s decision support at your fingertips.

Labour Costing — Price Jobs Properly

If you offer labour-based services, underquoting kills your profit. With eCashBooks you can:

• Calculate your true cost per hour

• Add overheads, equipment, and margins easily

• Compare quotes to actual performance

• Stop guessing and start pricing with confidence

Labour costing like this is rarely available in small business software — but it’s built right into the Smart Menu.

Pricing Tool — Set Prices That Work

How much should you charge? The Pricing Tool helps you:

• Calculate break-even pricing

• Set target profit margins

• Adjust prices by product, service, or time spent

• Experiment with price changes and see the impact

No more spreadsheets or gut guesses. Just smart, data-backed pricing decisions.

Productivity Checker — Make Time Count

Where’s your time going? Are you actually making money?

• Measure income vs time spent

• Identify low-value tasks or clients

• Pinpoint productivity leaks

• Make changes that free up your day

Small businesses don’t have time to waste. This tool makes sure you’re focused on what matters.
